Scientific Fraud - Peter Medawar

A great piece HERE - an old one - by Peter Medawar on scientific fraud.

"The number of dishonest scientists cannot, of course, be known, but even if they were common enough to justify scary talk of ‘tips of icebergs’ they have not been so numerous as to prevent science’s having become the most successful enterprise (in terms of the fulfillment of declared ambitions) that human beings have ever engaged upon."
